Listening After Nature examines the constructions and erasures that
haunt field recording practice and discourse. Analyzing archival
and contemporary soundworks through a combination of post-colonial,
ecological and sound studies scholarship, Mark Peter Wright recodes
the Field; troubles conceptions of Nature; expands
site-specificity; and unearths hidden technocultures. What exists
beyond the signal? How is agency performed and negotiated between
humans and nonhumans? What exactly is a field recording and what
are its pedagogical potentials? These questions are operated by a
methodology of listening that incorporates the spaces of audition,
as well as Wright's own practice-based reflections. In doing so,
Listening After Nature posits a range of novel interventions. One
example is the "Noisy-Nonself," a conceptual figuration with which
to comprehend the presence of reticent recordists. "Contact Zones
and Elsewhere Fields" offers another unique contribution by
reimaging the relationship between the field and studio. In the
final chapter, Wright explores the microphone by tracing its
critical and creative connections to natural resource extraction
and contemporary practice. Listening After Nature auditions water
and waste, infrastructures and animals, technologies and
recordists, data and stars. It grapples with the thresholds of
sensory perception and anchors itself to the question: what am I
not hearing? In doing so, it challenges Western universalisms that
code the field whilst offering vibrant practice-based
possibilities.
